From the Desk of Congressman Allen West 11/4/11 – Allen West for Congress

Halloween was this past Monday. And many in my district celebrated with candy and family get-togethers.

But last week it was my opponents who were resorting to scare tactics.

Democrats who want my seat are using every trick they can to try and frighten voters. One even called me a “tea party cult figure” in an email to her supporters. And another tried to attribute statements to me that I never said, essentially calling me a hypocrite. What a bunch of unfounded nonsense!

I’ll tell you this: I’m no big, bad, bogeyman. I’m a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel who wants nothing more than to restore the values that made this country great. Those are the same values that millions of servicemen and women risk their lives for every day. And they are the values that I won’t stop talking about, regardless of the threats thrown at me.

You already know what is at stake. Out of all 240 seats held by Republicans in the House, Democrats are focused more on mine than any other.
